You were really serious about all that?

I thought there was something about a mustache clause that excluded me from testing.

ëRoid Rage is quickly followed by ëRoid Repentence. I will not ëRoid Repeat the same ëRoid Wrong twice: really.

[Give them a few Viagra jokes, run out the door while theyíre still laughing.]
